(centos centos-5-i386-hostinabox576 950Mb) after read the below, i tought instead of visudo try sudo or sudoers may be this could help: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?forum=6&topic_id=513&viewmode=flat MODIFY THE SEARCH PATH: If you haven't already done so for other software, you now need to modify the search paths so that the system can find the sudo program and its manual pages. : PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/man/:/usr/local/man It's advisable to log out and log in again at this point to activate these changes. Make sure that the system can find the sudo program # Sudo -V (that's an upper case "V") and that you can display the manual pages: # man sudo # man visudo # man sudoers i had centos without visudo

MODIFY THE SEARCH PATH:
If you haven’t already done so for other software, you now need to modify the search paths so that the system can find the sudo program and its manual pages. :
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/man/:/usr/local/man
It’s advisable to log out and log in again at this point to activate these changes. Make sure that the system can find the sudo program
# Sudo -V
(that’s an upper case “V”) and that you can display the manual pages:
# man sudo
# man visudo
# man sudoers
